Excerpts

From Figure 11 , it can be seen that with the addition of MWCNTs, the m value generally had an increasing trend, while S slowly decreased with the addition of 0 to 1.5% of MWCNTs.

When the temperature was higher than 50 °C, with the addition of MWCNTs, the phase angle had a decreasing trend in general which meant that the content of the viscous components decreased and the content of the elastic components increased.

For flat layers, the absorption of the CIGS shows a decreasing trend with increasing nanowire width.

A decreasing trend is also evident for tensile strength by increasing the percentage of polystyrene aggregate.

The authors observed an increasing trend for both Young’s Modulus and elongation at break as a result of compatibilizing effect of GO.

Inconsistent fluctuation in drug concentration has been recognized as a highly significant challenge of conventional oral drug formulations for sustained and safe therapeutic effects of drugs.

The first aspect is that the relative density of the composites containing 42 vol % fine YSZ and higher actually demonstrated an increasing trend, unlike the others.

Average corrosion rate of B10 copper sheet at different medium temperatures exhibited a decreasing trend over the corrosion time.

There did not appear to be a definite trend with respect to the number of ethylene oxide units separating the tin atoms.

There does not appear to be a strong trend with respect to the electron density on the hydroquinone.

Ethylene yield showed an increasing trend with temperature, reaching to ca . 100% above 250 °C and DEE was formed at lower temperatures, reaching to a yield of about 70% at 180 °C over STA/MCM-41.

[ 66 ] observed an increase in the notched Izod impact energy ( Figure 15 ) from a glass bead content of 10 vol.% with no influence of the surface treatment and found also an increasing trend with several particle sizes ( Figure 16 ) [ 67 ], explained on the basis that when glass bead filled PP composites receive an impact force, the beads will induce crazes in the matrix around the surface because of stress concentration and will increase surface area to absorb the impact fracture energy.

showed a decreasing trend of the Izod impact with the montmorillonite content [ 137 ].

As seen in Figure 1 , the diffraction peaks (not shown here) were broadened as the ball milling (described below) increased, indicating a decreasing trend in crystallite (grain) sizes due to the internal stress [ 19 ].

The Seebeck coefficient of the samples tends to decrease with increasing temperature below 900 K, except for the Cu 0.979 Ag 0.02 Zn 0.001 AlO 2 sample, which shows a clear trend of increasing the Seebeck coefficient above 900 K.

The incorporation of Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ into β-TCP structure was confirmed by a decreasing trend in the lattice parameter values and a contraction of calculated cells volumes.

Moreover, the life prediction error has shown an increasing trend along with the cumulative damage of CCF caused by HCF loads for the four materials.

Experimental results show that with increasing modified-graphite content, the tensile strength of the MG/PU films first increased and then decreased, and the elongation at break of the composite films showed a decreasing trend.

These studies clearly demonstrate the difficulty of identifying damage modes in composite materials, though there is a clear trend that shows an increase in both amplitude and frequency as the type of damage becomes more severe.

This is because the cohesive properties in the former are almost insignificant as compared to the perfect contact in the latter case.

As the extension of the salt spray test time, the corrosion rate shows a decreasing trend.

For example, with a variation of the functional groups at the surfaces of UiO-66(Zr), UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 and UiO-66(Zr)-2COOH, their adsorption performances demonstrate an increasing trend, probably resulting from the more favorable formation of acid-base or/and hydrogen-bond interactions between UiO-66(Zr)-2COOH and verapamil than those from UiO-66(Zr) and UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 .

According to Figure 4 , there is an increasing trend of the mean fluorescence intensity when the concentration is less than 0.01 mmol/L, and it presents the obvious linear relationship ( R 2 = 0.997) between the intensity and the concentration.

The composites displayed an increase in flexural strength and modulus in the MAPE content range of 5–15%, above which the flexural strength and modulus exhibited a decreasing trend ( Figure 2 b).

Hardness of the material shows an increasing trend as a function to the time that the laser beam remains on the same section of material, i.e., for lower scanning speeds.
